Social entrepreneurship can be seen as a “double-edged sword” producing not only monetary outcomes and thus enabling refugees to “pursue self-reliance activities necessary to lead dignified lives, to reduce protection risks and to enhance the sustainability of any future durable solution” (UNHCR, 2011b:20) but also many faceted social value. On the one hand, refugees may have a better understanding of pressing needs in their social context and thus can be best suited to recognize opportunities for an enterprise aimed at tackling one of these problems. By acting on the recognized opportunities, the refugee social entrepreneurs can provide solutions to problems present in their context that would be even neglected by the “traditional” service providers like government agencies, etc. On the other hand, and as an indirect effect of the creation of social enterprises, prosocial behavior in the form of such an enterprise may have a significant positive effect on leveraging the negative effects of displacement and thus play a role in furthering the well being of the refugee social entrepreneur.
